Bluebottle Kiss - Ounce of Your Cruelty lyrics

You're a waitress who hung out With the customers too long now It seems the curtain's closed And the lights are on I guess there's going to be no encore for us You're a mystery in the street and the men would pay good currency And you let them down so softly For an ounce of your cruelty, you would Leave your house keys in my door And they'd fit because you want them to Such coincidence, it always befalls you It gets so far beyond comedy that How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane now? Could you just have a heart? Give me an ounce of your cruelty, could you There's a whistle in the street There's a night so cloaked with secrecy But I'm keeping my nose clean I've drawn the curtains closed Until it's summer and these crickets wake me And your breath will light the dawn But you'll wake up with a thorn in your side Hey it's only me, you should turn it around And wake me up with your cruelty How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane now? Could you just have a heart? Give me an ounce of your cruelty How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane now Could you just have a heart? Give me an ounce of your cruelty And you'll leave it alone and let it rot An ounce of your cruelty means You'll stay at home And deprive me of your pleasure Hey could you do that? No way around it
